Report by Katie Greengrass
Knitwear label Sibling’s Sid Bryan has collaborated with the cream of British fashion talent from Giles to Jonathan Saunders, Jasper Conran, Gareth Pugh and many more over the years. The label he creates with Jo Bates and Cozette McCreery is one of the hot tickets at the MAN day. The LFW Daily grabbed him for a quick chat outside the Topshop ice cream van.
Who do you most enjoy collaborating with?
It’s hard to choose just one … Definitely Giles and I’ve also loved working with Jasper Conran this season.
What do you wear in bed?
Virgin Airlines Upper Class pyjamas, I have so many pairs.
What has been your greatest fashion disaster?
Aged thirteen I bought a bright pink jacket from my local market for a pound. I was like Doncaster’s version of a Pink Lady.
Snog, marry, avoid?
I’ve snogged Coz, I’d definitely marry Joe and I try and avoid both!
What your favourite tipple?
Well that’s easy, a hot chocolate from the Topshop van in Somerset House.
Twinset or game, set and match?
Sibling’s signature twinset all the way.

Report by Katie GreengassGrans and grandads, lock up your husky jackets, outerwear is having a moment. Our old friend the coat does, of course, make up the flavour of winter but this season London designers have played the cover up centre stage.
“Designers are especially concerned with jackets and coats this season,” Harrods’ Fashion and Beauty Director Marigay Mckee told The LFW Daily. “Bombers are the particular favourite along with the military style jackets,” she said.
Burberry based an entire collection around aviator jackets while Charles Anastase layered knitwear on top of overcoats. Daks took the husky and gave it an up to date, eccentric spin via leggings, capes and bonnets from the traditional fabric. Design duo Basso & Brooke weaved Trompe-l’œil goretex anoraks into their ensemble and at Aquascutum Michael Herz transformed tailored jackets into full-length dresses. Meanwhile, at Mens day today [Wed], E Tautz featured the ultimate in deluxe outerwear courtesy a cashmere fit for a prince. Luckily one [HRH Prince Michael] was sitting front row and was seemingly rather taken by it.
